Maggi-the staple food for every young Indian living in a hostel or at home! Easy to cook and the fact that it's so affordable is what makes it so popular. Maggi noodles come in a variety of price bracket ranging from Rs 5 to Rs 40. Over the years Maggi has been the Mecca for every food experimentalist, be it adding vegetables to it or stuffing it in a roll. Here are 15 ways in which one can cook some delish Maggi!

3. Egg Bhurji Maggi

Another egg variation could be Egg Bhurji Maggi. Make Maggi the usual way in one burner and in the other burner add a dash of oil/ghee/olive oil, drop some chopped or roughly cut onions. Then add the egg and the usual spices (red chili powder, turmeric, crushed black pepper). Toss Maggi and eggs together and you are done.

5. Soupy Maggi

This is not as easy as it looks like. A bit tedious to make, this is a desi variant of Minestrone basically. Chop carrots, celery, onions and vegetable stock. Fry the veggies in regular oil. Add vegetable stock, and simmer till half in volume. Add the Maggi and the Masala. Cook till the Maggi is done. Om nom nom!

6. Chicken Maggi

This is not the usual Chinese vendor noodles with chicken. This is completely desified. Get tandoori Chicken from your local restaurant. Separate the meat from the bones. Make Maggi and add chicken. Tandoori Maggi, anyone?

8. Tomato Maggi

The regular way of doing is adding chopped tomatoes in the Maggi but if you want to tinkle your taste buds use tomato concassé.

P.S. - Tomato concassé can be made by slitting tomatoes and dropping them in simmering water for a minute or two. De-skin the tomatoes and remove all the seeds. Chop the de-skinned tomatoes; add white pepper and salt. What you get is tomato concassé.

10. Cheese Maggi

Another very popular and most experiment ingredient on Maggi is Cheese. Be it Mozzarella or Cheddar, grate it on the Maggi after its cooked and heat it in the microwave for two more minutes. This is the yummiest form of Maggi ever that you will taste.

11. Short Crust Maggi

Another one of the tedious Maggi making method is Short Crust Maggi or Maggi Pie. For Short Crust - Rub butter and refined flour till bread crumbs consistency. Add cold water to form tight dough. Place it in a small round tin container and make sure the dough covers the inside of the tin completely. Place the cooked Maggi in the centre of the tin. Grate cheese from the top. And heat it in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

12. Corn & Capsicum Maggi

This one is for those who cannot handle spicy food at all. Boil the Maggi and put boiled corn in it. Add salt and white pepper and cheese. Cook until it's all slimy. Garnish it off with baked capsicums.

15. Deep Fried Maggi

All you need is a deep pan filled with vegetable oil. Add cooked Maggi in the pan. Be very careful while doing so because the oil might splash back. Take out the Maggi once it start changing its colour with the help of a strainer and put it on a kitchen towel. Sprinkle some 'chaat masala' over it and what you have is tasty crispy deep fried Maggi.
